An earlier Mac drawing program marketed by Apple's Claris subsidiary in the early 1990s. It was an upgrade to the original MacDraw software from Apple and eventually became known as ClarisDraw. The vector-based application included zooming capability and color support and was especially prized for producing technical diagrams, floorplans and elementary CAD work. MacDraw files were a subset of the Claris CAD file format. See Claris.
